    I’d like to sew a beautiful panty that matches to the first wearable bra that I recently made 🙂 yay! (My favorite style of underwear: I would call it “subtile, classic and a little bit sexy” :))
    Nice regards from Germany,

    I have finally perfected my Watson bikini modifications, and now the world is my oyster! I like a classic fit, but I’m excited to try a sassy key hole back detail now. The #sewpantyparty has lit a fire under me, and I have so many new things to try!

    My absolute fave panty style is a traditional high cut bikini, I’ve been crushing on the Frankie Panties by EvieLaLuve. The fit is better than perfect. ❤️

    I LOVE boy shorts and thongs. They are both beautiful and no obvious VPL.

    I’ve been sewing up a bunch of panties this month thanks to your #sewpantyparty. Thanks for the push … I often get so caught up in the bras I forget panties.

    The bikini is my fave. I also love the Watson bikini fit (as your other comments have mentioned).

    My favorite depends, but usually a low-hipster type or the high-waisted granny. Actually love the fit of the ‘granny’ style but… since I tend to wear jeans/shorts so often, I need to stick with the lower-waisted styles so I that I don’t give everyone behind me a clear view of my undies. I’ve tried to learn to like thongs… and just can’t do it.

    My go to is high cut but I’ve been known to wear granny panties too.

    I’m quite taken with the hipster style. Excellent for those with swayback and a low pelvis

    I like panties that are bigger than bikinis and smaller than granny panties. I made my first pair last weekend, and hope to make another pair this weekend!

    More than a bikini , but less than a granny. But, for sure a high cut leg.

    I love boy cut briefs and hipsters. And I really like a nice midrise, which is kinda granny but I don’t care. I make granny the new sexy.

    I do not have one favourite style. It depends on what I will be wearing: skinny jeans need a string, comfy joggers ask for hipsters. Tricot dress prefers highwaisted, etc.
    I like to have a choice, so with every bra I make, I make 2 or 3 different styles of undies.

    I love all the underwear styles actually. It’s fun to wear different ones. The fabric usually is the one to decide which ones I will make. Thank you for the inspiration 🙂

    I definitely prefer higher waisted underwear, but I usually wear something between a hipster and a brief. Thank you for the giveaway, Erin!

    I don’t think I have a favourite style of panty….I like them all! As long as they fit well, that is. I have a selection of styles in my lingerie drawer, frequently more than one to match a bra. Because I’m all about the matchy-matchy thing!

    My usual favourite for many years has been a thong with good front coverage….but I’m working on a new mash-up that might be even more comfortable. We’ll see 😉

    I’m like Angela – love my granny panties but need to wear something lower waisted so they aren’t seen when my shirt & jeans decide it’s gap time! Either that or make them so pretty that I don’t care who sees them. This may be the kick in the pants I need to make my own.

    I wore bikinis for years – trying to find the most luxurious fabrics available – silky as possible. Then, a few surgeries made any elastic across my lower abdomen impossible – full panties – 100% cotton. Then, they packaged them in toxic plastic bags, which migrated into the fabric = returned. Currently, full panties but seamless stretchy. I am ready to make some with fabric that wicks – super soft, still full panties, but fitted without being too snug – love the fold-over elastic – so different from the old-fashioned burn your skin white elastic that shrinks a lot. I have not tried bamboo fabric – this is lovely. Congrats to the winner!

    Cheeky hipsters and boyshorts are the best, can’t stand anything tight on my waist, love all the highwaist styles that would drive me CRAZY to actually wear.

    I used to love low waisted thongs, but after taking a class and making a pair of high waisted granny panties,I might be a convert!

    I enjoy old school French high-cut briefs, the best of both worlds (grannie panty comfort with bikini-like style)…they are harder to find commercially so I should sew them!

    Soft stretchy cotton lycra full briefs are my fave! No creeping or crawling and no yucky sweaty feeling. Even better if the leg and waistbands are cotton/lycra too – no elastic (and they are much easier to make that way).

    I love basic low-rise briefs….like the ones mom always bought us as kids, but not so granny-high, lol. Can’t wait to try some of these elastics you have been talking about for a long time now….off to check the shop! Thank you Erin!!!

    I love a hipster with legs finished in stretch lace trim for every day. For teaching yoga, I like to wear laser cut edge hipsters so I get full coverage under my leggings but no panty lines!

    I’m a hip-hugger, boy-shorts girl (super comfy and no VPL!), but I’m thinking I should add some high-waisted panties to the mix for whenever I wear clothing that hits at the waist. Is there such a thing as high-waisted boy-shorts? lol

    Hi Erin – I’ve been sewing up some different styles lately – trying to find the perfect fit – some Watson bikinis, but I’ve had to add to the top; Hipsters altered for high cut leg fronts; and now I just bought the Frankie panty pattern – sewing it up today! I also like the Fehr Trade lacy thong – when I’m wearing a special outfit. Thanks for the contest – I’m loving that fabric – and the colour is sooo Spring!

    I am still looking for the perfect no pantyline undies! I am all for comfort and with a latex allergy, I really need to start making my own! So far, my fav are Jalie bikini with fold over elastic. LOVE the modal I got from you! Sooo soft you just want to wrap yourself in the fabric, never mind cutting it down!

    Ha, I’m a brief kind of gal. Other styles are pretty, but there’s just nothing ladylike about digging out a wedgie, and I’m not the type of person who can tolerate one for any period of time. Gotta know your limits! 😉

    I am all about the briefs – comfort is key – but I do edge mine with 1″ stretch lace instead of elastic, for the pretty and the comfy (as it’s wider – it’s great)

    Hipster briefs for me in quick drying fabric and stretch lace elastic. Great for bringing on vacation as made this way they dry overnight. I look forward to your posts. Keep them coming. You’re quite an inspiration–been following your blog since you started learning how to make bras. It’s wonderful to see where passion and determination leads!

    Awesome giveaway Erin – thanks for making it so easy! 😉 I tend to stick with “granny panties” simply because everything else I’ve tried ends up in a wedgie. haha

    Not so much a particular style, but they must fit well, (I never realized this was so possible until I started making my own), and be mostly made from natural fibres. So, that means any style that is comfortable when worn. Since beginning to go with ‘home made’, so many more styles have appeared in my underwear drawer!
